The difference is Saudi Arabia is always evil and the US is only frequently evil. Always when a Republican is president but also occasionally when a Democrat is president.

That’s because more than half of the country is some combination of evil and/or retarded.

You sounds like a conservative. “I don’t understand how someone doesn’t believe what I believe so they must be somehow intrinsically evil.”

EDIT: Also I don’t think anyone was saying they don’t believe empathy is real, but that self proclaimed “empaths” are usually full of shit.

“promoted” LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

Hey I don’t like HRC but this take is pants on head unhinged. Shes not doing anti-LGBT 4D chess, she was just narcissistic/delusional to think she’d be anywhere charismatic enough to convince people internationally to treat LGBT people better.

Do people in the global south & developing world have agency? Or are they simpletons being manipulated by grand puppet masters? If the answer is they have agency, the bigots that live in those places should own their bigotry and you shouldn’t do apologia for them. If the answer is they are simpletons well… ok.

I feel like I’m completely detached from this social relation. I find self proclaimed “empaths” mostly just annoying or unconvincing. I don’t really have any hatred for them.

People misread my feelings all the time. Then again I’m autistic and default to a poker face like 90% of the time unless I exert effort to emote.

He is doing the right thing if only because he is preventing a child from playing Roblox.

He’d be a hero if he gave him a copy of Minecraft (or really almost any non-F2P game) to play instead.

I wish this news made me happier. It ought to but all it reminds me is that in 2032 people will probably vote in mecha-hitler Grok Musk for US president because Americans have the collective memory of a goldfish.
